However, 12 deals, accounting for more than a quarter of the total, did not disclose funding amounts, suggesting the true average ticket size may be lower.<\/p><p>The recovery was driven in part by the return of large-ticket transactions after February\u2019s muted activity, which was weighed down by the absence of sizeable deals.<\/p><h3>Two megadeals anchored March funding<\/h3><p>There were two megadeals in March, defined as transactions worth $100 million or more.<\/p><p>Thailand-founded AI startup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/stories\/amity-series-d-477044\/\">Amity<\/a> raised $100 million in a Series D funding round anchored by Singapore\u2019s EDBI as it ramps up expansion ahead of a planned IPO.<\/p><p>The round also drew participation from Asia Partners, SMDV, and other investors, including CMLIM Capital.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, Singapore-headquartered modular and prefabricated data centre infrastructure provider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/stories\/epg-decarbonization-partners-477571\/\">EPG<\/a> also raised more than $100 million in a Series B+ funding round led by Decarbonization Partners, a joint venture between BlackRock and Temasek, along with Alibaba Cloud and other strategic investors.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Top 5 deals in March<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<table id=\"tablepress-166\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-166\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Name<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Headquarters<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Amount Raised<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Funding Stage<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Lead Investor\/s<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">Other Investor\/s<\/th><th class=\"column-7\">Verticals<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Amity<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Thailand<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$100,000,000<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Series D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">EDBI<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">Asia Partners, SMDV, CMLIM Capital<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Data analytics; AI\/ML<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Deep Intelligent Pharma<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Singapore<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$40,000,000<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Venture &#8211; Series Unknown<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">CDH Investments, Jinyi Capital, Kaitai Capital, Xin Ding Capital<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">CDH Investments, Jinyi Capital, Kaitai Capital, Xin Ding Capital<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Health tech<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">EPG<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Singapore<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$100,000,000<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Series B+<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Decarbonization Partners<\/td><td class=\"column-6\"><\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Software &amp; IT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">KAST<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Singapore<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$80,000,000<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Series A<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">QED Investors, Left Lane Capital<\/td><td class=\"column-6\"><\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Fintech<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">MOZARK<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Singapore<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$40,000,000<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Series B<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">International Finance Corporation, RMB Capitalworks<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">International Finance Corporation, Kalaari Capital, RMB Capitalworks<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Software &amp; IT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p><h3>Singapore remains a key funding hub<\/h3><p>Fundraising remained heavily concentrated in Singapore, where startups secured $433.1 million across 29 deals, accounting for about 74.4% of the region\u2019s total funding value, DealStreetAsia&#8217;s data showed.<\/p><p>This underscores the city-state\u2019s continued dominance as Southeast Asia\u2019s primary hub for venture-backed startups.<\/p><p>The largest deals in Singapore included EPG\u2019s $100 million-plus Series B+ round, followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/stories\/circle-singapore-ceo-kast-funding-475221\/\">KAST\u2019s $80 million fundraising<\/a>, making it the second-largest transaction in the city-state during the month.<\/p><p>KAST, a startup founded by the former Singapore chief of Circle Internet Group, is looking to expand its stablecoin-based payments business globally as adoption of the technology grows.<\/p><div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/28481110\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div><p>Thailand ranked a distant second with $100 million, representing roughly 17.2% of total funding. Notably, the country had only one announced deal during the month, but that single transaction, Amity\u2019s Series D round, was enough to make it the region\u2019s second-largest market by funding value.<\/p><p>Malaysia followed with $45.1 million across 13 deals, or about 7.7% of the regional total.<\/p><p>The country\u2019s largest announced deal was CARSOME Group\u2019s strategic investment round of more than $30 million from a group of new and existing investors, including Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited, Gobi Partners, and Asia Partners.<\/p><p>That was followed by Aonic, a Malaysia-founded drone technology company operating across Southeast Asia, which secured $10 million in new funding in a Series A round led by Kairous Capital, a regional private equity and venture capital firm backed by Jelawang Capital.<\/p><p>Vietnam recorded one deal worth $4 million. The country\u2019s lone announced transaction was sealed by electric two-wheeler maker Dat Bike, which raised another $4 million from local investment bank Thien Viet Securities.<\/p><p>The distribution highlights the continued concentration of capital in a handful of markets, with Singapore accounting for the bulk of large-ticket transactions.<\/p><p>Karen Patricia Rogacion, Partner, M&amp;A, Corporate Finance at PwC Philippines, earlier told DealStreetAsia that \u201cany transaction with exposure to the Middle East or critical supply routes is now subject to a significantly higher bar in terms of diligence, valuation and structure.\u201d Investors are recalibrating risk, she said, \u201cnot retreating, but pricing and structuring for uncertainty.\u201d<\/p><p>Still, Rogacion added that, at this stage, the conflicts in the Gulf are acting \u201cmore as a risk filter than a stop sign for deals.\u201d<\/p><h3>Data and AI dominate the funding landscape<\/h3><p>By sector, data analytics and AI led the funding landscape, attracting $165 million, or about 28.3% of total capital raised, highlighting sustained investor interest despite broader concerns over valuations and hype in the AI space.<\/p><p>The largest deal in the segment was secured by Amity Corporation.<\/p><p>This was followed by Video Rebirth, an AMD-backed Singapore AI video startup that secured an additional $30 million in an extension round.<\/p><div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/28481129\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div><p>Software and IT followed with $140 million, while fintech secured $128.5 million.<\/p><p>Other sectors saw more modest activity.<\/p><p>Green tech accounted for $46.4 million, healthtech brought in $40.6 million, and e-commerce raised $34.3 million (5.9%).<\/p><p>The remaining sectors, including mobility technology, robotics, and agritech, each contributed relatively small shares, reflecting a funding environment still concentrated in a handful of verticals.<\/p><div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/28481136\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div><p>In terms of funding stage, late-stage rounds drove the bulk of capital deployment. Series B deals led with $165.5 million, accounting for about 28.4% of total funding, followed by Series A at $108 million and a single Series D round worth $100 million.<\/p><p>Venture rounds with undisclosed series collectively raised $104.4 million, while seed-stage investments totalled $84.7 million, indicating continued early-stage activity even as capital tilted towards larger, more mature companies.<\/p><p>Pre-seed and pre-Series A rounds made up a small portion of the total, contributing less than 4% combined.<\/p><h3>Debt deals<\/h3><p>DealStreetAsia\u2019s monthly scorecards exclude debt deals, and as such, two debt transactions announced in March were not included in the funding total.<\/p><p>Among the notable debt deals during the month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/search\/page\/1?s=Princeton%20Digital%20Group&amp;sort_by=recent\">Princeton Digital Group<\/a> (PDG), the Singapore-based data centre operator, closed a $350 million financing as part of a plan to raise up to $5 billion in debt this year to fund contracted capacity across Asia.<\/p><p>In Vietnam, rooftop solar startup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/stories\/smartsolar-debt-funding-round-476133\/\">SmartSolar<\/a> secured $1.3 million in debt funding to scale financing for small and medium-sized businesses grappling with rising electricity costs.<\/p><p>SmartSolar obtained a $300,000 senior loan from the SECO Startup Fund, a development finance initiative of Switzerland\u2019s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
